Procedures for troops incorporate and assume the standards and requirements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> Volunteer Policies (printed in Volunteer Essentials) and the GSUSA Safety Activity<br />
Checkpoints. These standards and procedures are designed to assist volunteers and staff in the delivery<br />
<strong>of</strong> a safe, quality program for girls.<br />
Membership and Volunteer Leadership<br />
All girls and adults participating in the <strong>Girl</strong> Scout movement shall be registered as members with <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> the United States <strong>of</strong> America and individually pay the $12 annual membership dues, except those adults<br />
who are lifetime members or who are working in a temporary advisory or consultative capacity.<br />
Volunteer Screening Policy<br />
Before volunteering, a mandatory volunteer application and consent for a background clearance is required<br />
for all adult volunteers who work directly with girls. This includes all Leaders, Co-Leaders, Assistant Leaders,<br />
Troop Cookie Managers, Service Unit Cookie Managers, Troop Fall Product Managers, Service Unit Fall<br />
Product Managers and adults who attend overnight events.<br />
Prior to assuming a volunteer position, candidates are required to complete a volunteer application and<br />
background clearance consent form, and if clearances are required, submit the processing fee <strong>of</strong> $5.00.<br />
Volunteer candidates who do not pass the Volunteer Background Clearance will be denied a position if a<br />
provisional clearance is not authorized by GSEP. The response to any other reports will be at the discretion<br />
and judgment <strong>of</strong> Council management.<br />
Volunteer candidates who have a completed volunteer clearance process within the last 12 months may<br />
submit a copy <strong>of</strong> these certifications with their application ($5.00 fee not required).<br />
Volunteers will be required to update their volunteer records every 3 years by submitting a new consent form<br />
and processing fee.<br />

Our Commitment To Safety<br />
GSEP is committed to providing a safe environment for all <strong>of</strong> our girl members. The completion <strong>of</strong> criminal<br />
background checks by adult volunteers is one additional and important step to ensure their safety.<br />
Who Needs a Background Check?<br />
We recommend that every adult volunteer who works regularly with girls obtain a criminal background<br />
clearance. However, we require that criminal background clearances be performed for the following<br />
individuals, prior to their acceptance <strong>of</strong> a volunteer assignment:<br />
1. All Leaders and Assistant Leaders (also known as “01’s” and “02’s”)<br />
2. Troop Cookie Managers<br />
3. Troop Fall Product Managers<br />
4. Service Unit Cookie Managers<br />
5. Service Unit Fall Product Managers<br />
6. All adults who attend any overnight events with girls<br />
Procedure<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> her/his volunteer application process, each appropriate candidate must complete a background<br />
check application and consent form, and submit the required $5 processing fee. Forms are available from<br />
Service Unit Managers or online at www.gsep.org. Processing should take no more than 2-3 weeks.<br />
Note: Background checks must be performed every three years.<br />
GSEP Accepts Clearances From Other Agencies<br />
GSEP can accept criminal/child abuse background checks performed for other youth-serving organizations<br />
such as schools, houses <strong>of</strong> worship and employers as long as they have been performed in the preceding<br />
12 months. A copy <strong>of</strong> the clearance should be submitted with the volunteer application and no processing<br />
fee is required.<br />
What Happens if “Something” Shows Up on the Record?<br />
Volunteer candidates whose verified record indicates a history <strong>of</strong> child abuse, violent crime or sexual crime<br />
will be denied an assignment. At the discretion <strong>of</strong> the Council, volunteer candidates may be denied an<br />
assignment for drug and/or alcohol related <strong>of</strong>fenses or <strong>of</strong>fenses related to fraud, theft, misappropriation or<br />
any other reports.<br />

CAMPing Properties,<br />
pOLICIES and PROCEDURES<br />
Let’s get out and take a hike! Welcome to our Council’s guide to camping policies and procedures. Every<br />
troop should be sure to take advantage <strong>of</strong> the wonderful outdoor resources for lots <strong>of</strong> outdoor fun. Outdoor<br />
activities are an important part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Girl</strong> Scout program because they provide girls with an appreciation <strong>of</strong><br />
the outdoors, a chance to learn new skills, a feeling <strong>of</strong> independence and increased self-esteem, along with<br />
opportunities to develop relationships.<br />
<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> is committed to providing opportunities where girls can gain experience in<br />
an outdoor environment and grow personally. It is our hope that these experiences allow girls a chance to:<br />
• have fun;<br />
• develop a sense <strong>of</strong> belonging to the group, troop or unit <strong>of</strong> girls;<br />
• learn more about relating to others and accepting differences;<br />
• develop new skills related to the environment and outdoor activities;<br />
• build self esteem and self reliance;<br />
• gain a sense <strong>of</strong> ownership and pride in our camps;<br />
• interact with positive female adult role models;<br />
• develop confidence and capability in the outdoor world.<br />
Families and Non <strong>Girl</strong> Scout Groups<br />
GSEP camps are first and foremost a resource for our girls and leaders. Non <strong>Girl</strong> Scout groups and families<br />
with <strong>Girl</strong> Scout affiliations may rent GSEP properties, but must meet all rules and regulations required <strong>of</strong><br />
GSEP troops/groups. Because GSEP troops/groups and service units have first priority for use <strong>of</strong> GSEP camp<br />
properties, the reservation procedures and application are different for families and other non <strong>Girl</strong> Scout<br />
groups. <strong>Girl</strong> Scout affiliated families may reserve a weekend site two months in advance, and outside groups<br />
may reserve a weekend site one month in advance.<br />
All camp visits must be pre-arranged and pre-approved with the Troop Camping (Site Rental) Registrar.<br />
Any questions? Please call the Troop Camping Registrar at 888.564.4657, ext. 1054.<br />
All groups (including families) camping on GSEP and other properties MUST camp with<br />
an adult current in First Aid/CPR, and with an adult who has completed all three<br />
GSEP Outdoor trainings. Please see the Volunteer Learning <strong>Guide</strong> http://www.gsep.org/volunteer/adultdevelopment.php.<br />
Training Requirements For Camping With <strong>Girl</strong>s<br />
Safety Activity Checkpoints requires that adults leading girls in camping and outdoor cooking activities<br />
are properly trained. To meet those requirements, GSEP has developed a training progression and training<br />
courses for adults leading girls in the out-<strong>of</strong>-doors. Please see the Volunteer Learning <strong>Guide</strong> http://www.gsep.<br />
org/volunteer/adult-development.php.<br />

All groups renting any site or facility must adhere to the following standards and rules at all times while on<br />
site. These rules should be shared with all persons in your party prior to arriving at camp.<br />
Standards and Rules Governing the Usage <strong>of</strong> GSEP Camp <strong>Facilities</strong><br />

Men In Camp (except for <strong>Girl</strong> Scout Family Camping)<br />
Safety Activity Checkpoints requires that men be given separate sleeping quarters and restroom facilities<br />
when they camp with girls. Since many <strong>of</strong> the GSEP campsites do not have separate restroom facilities, a list<br />
<strong>of</strong> appropriate sites is available from the Troop Camping Registrar. It is important to communicate with the<br />
Troop Camping Registrar prior to making any reservations where men will be present<br />
at the camp.<br />
It is also acceptable to rent two units with the men in one unit and the girls and female leaders in the<br />
neighboring unit. This ensures privacy.<br />
Check-In/Check-Out Procedures<br />
• The leader from each group must check in and check out with the Camp Ranger. You must provide<br />
the Camp Ranger with the Site Rental Reservation paperwork. If you did not receive this paperwork,<br />
you must contact the Registrar prior to your camp visit.<br />

inspection by the Camp Ranger, prior to departing the site. Failure to check out, regardless <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cleanliness <strong>of</strong> the site, will result in forfeiting the security deposit.<br />
• Troops are expected to clean their unit before departing. This includes sweeping out tents, sweeping<br />
and mopping cabins, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning kitchens, and taking bagged trash to the trash<br />
cans for ranger pick-up. For a $50 charge per unit, troops can pay for “deep-cleaning” and leave after<br />
they have picked up and swept out the tents and cabins, picked up around the grounds, and taken all<br />
trash to the cans for ranger pick-up. A service will mop floors, and clean the bathrooms and kitchens.<br />
• Check-in is from 4-8pm and check-out must occur before 2pm.<br />

Outside Group Rentals at Sites Owned by GSEP<br />
GSEP is currently using a system <strong>of</strong> “direct booking” <strong>of</strong> consultants by Service Units, Troop Leaders and<br />
outside groups at GSEP owned sites. In this system, Service Units/Troops/outside groups will pay consultants<br />
directly and consultants will negotiate times and prices directly with the designated contact person. There are<br />
2 fees for these activities. The first fee is to the consultant, the second fee is to GSEP to help defray the cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Consultant Reservation System and to also keep the equipment in good repair. Troops/Service Units<br />
and outside groups are responsible for both fees.<br />
GSEP also provides on certain weekends during the year Consultant Weekends at many <strong>of</strong> our sites. At these<br />
weekends we will provide the consultants for certain activities. Available slots for these activities are available<br />
through the online registration system.<br />
Group size determines the number <strong>of</strong> consultants required. Please adhere to these guidelines for the safety <strong>of</strong><br />
our girls. Remember all activities are weather permitting.<br />
